Has anyone loaded 10.0 on a machine with an Adaptec 2100S RAID Controller?
by Ken Gramm 10 Nov '05

If so, did you need to do anything special? I cannot get my retail DVD of 10.0 to load onto a machine with an Adaptec 2100S RAID Controller. I know the hardware is OK. 9.3 loads without a problem. 10.0 sees the controller and the arrays during the install, and everything works all the way up until the first reboot. Then the system hangs right after: System Boot Control: Running /etc/init.d/boot.local done If I CTRL+ALT+F10 I get this: pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug Core version: 0.5 shpchp: acpi_shpchp:\_SB_.PCI0 evaluate _BBN fail=0x5 shpchp: acpi_shpchp:get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x5 I2O subsystem v1.288 i2o: max drivers=8 i2o: checking for PCI I20 controllers...

I've tried disabling ACPI. It still locks up. I've tried taking one of the CPUs out so that the SMP kernel isn't installed by default. No difference. 10.0 load correctly if I use the onboard IDE controllers. I just can't get it to install when using the 2100S. Thanks in advance. Ken

I noticed that even with SuSE 9.1, but SuSE 10 seems to be much better....

Suse 10 Via Processor Hangs
by Doug Currey 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

I am trying to install Suse 10 on a Powerspec with a VIA EZRA 900mhz processor. The install goes without any problems. I however keep getting random system hangs that require a power off to correct. I have tried installing with and without acpi support. Same problem. I am sure the system is stable it was running RedHat 7.3 for a long time without any problems. Logs don't show anything that gives me a clue as to what is happening. Any ideas? Thanks Doug

Deactivating IPv6 on SUSE 10.0
by pelibali 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi, I wish to deactivate IPv6 networking completely and I have these settings now in sysconfig agika:/etc/sysconfig # cat SuSEfirewall2 | grep -i "ipv6" FW_IPv6="drop" FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING="yes" agika:/etc/sysconfig # cat windowmanager | grep -i "ipv6" KDE_USE_IPV6="no" If I understood well, these settings together ensure to (1. avoid the usage of ipv6 under the user's KDE session,) 2a. drop ipv6 stuff arriving from outside, 2b. reject ipv6 coming from inside (~going to outside). Is that right please? Is that enough, or would I need something in addition? Thanks, Pelibali

Do not know what I did but suddenly I had tracerroute running three times. Have killed it in htop and have the idea that I got rid of it. Could somebody give me some background. Google gave my only some basic ideas.

Re: [SLE] stopping dictionary attacks on sshd

The simple solution to this problem is to disable password logins and make use of public key authentication. With no chance to log in, there is no chance to brute force.

RE: Continuous font problems with gtk apps, SuSE9.3
by Martin 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi Experts, I have 1600x1200 resolution set on 15" LCD and after playing with fonts it started looking better but it is still not as I would like to have it. One thing which is getting specially annoying is when I have to always start gnome control center after each login to KDE, open up fonts and close it without setting up anything and after that when I open say gaim, fonts are ok. I did quite a log googling on this subject but found no solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thx, Martin __________________________________ Yahoo!

I have read tone of dhcpd and named.conf Q&A. Yet I just get denied when the client tries to update dns, If I do an nsupdate -y keyname:khjjkjd The named accepts the update and puts it into the zone file. So I have correctly setup the key on the DNS side using rndc.key. I suppose what I am trying to say is that I am confused with SuSE10, as none of the documentation seems to be on par with they way SuSE 10 is structured. How do you suggest I proceed? TIA Chadley

Software to hardware raid migration.
by Hans du Plooy 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi guys, Subject says it all. I have a SUSE 9.2 Pro server, with two IDE discs, configured in a kernel based raid-1. One of the two discs died, the server is now running on one disc. I just purchased an Adaptec SATA Raid controller, with three SATA discs. I know this card works, I have it in another server too. My plan is to make a RAID-5 with the new discs, and move the existing installation onto that. I'm reasonably sure I know what I need to do to make this work - I just need some four-eye policy :-) 1. Set up raid, move data across. 2. Modify fstab to show the correct /dev/sda devices instead of /dev/md 3. Modify boot parameters in grub.conf 4. Include aacraid in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and make a new initrd This should be it. md will moan, of course, but it shouldn't hinder operation. Am I missing anything? Thanks Hans
